Swift Transportation can kiss my gluteous maximus!!!

So you are one of the higher paid Swift drivers.

 

$100/wk avg???...I call bull!!...I mean there will be bad weeks but I can't see anyone remotely staying 7 mos for $100/wk avg.

 

I've been with swift since August and there has to be more to your story you aren't telling us. If you made 100 a week for 7 months or the majority of your time there, there would be no need for you to resign you would have had pcrs to the roof after they tried working with you to increase your miles. You had to be turning down load after load, the truck had to be in the shop for months on end and you would have more than likely found something before this point if swift really was the problem. Their truck made next to nothing for "7" months and they didn't do anything about it? Not likely. You would have been long long let go. Fill everyone in with the facts if what you say is true.

 

love the title,lol

 

There's your problem,you're too good of a driver.Start having a no care attitude and see if that works.

 

I got off my mentor truck and I haven't been screwed. You must have been doing something extremely wrong. Or if I go by your attitude, didn't make a good impression? I'm not bashing you but as much as people complain about swift it comes out to be that persons fault 99.9% of the time. I'll explain, driver meets DM, first thing out of his/her mouth, I want to go home every two weeks. I won't run here, I will turn down this load, that load, etc unless it's going here, or there. I'm going to be rude, curse at you, disrespect you and anyone else I want because I'm the driver and I'm the gift to you, I don't have to work here. I'm doing you a favor. I'll work when I want to work. I won't drive at night. I want to sleep 14-16 hours a day. It goes on an on. You can't do any of these things and then turn around and blame the company. Like I stated before, there is more to this story. Not bashing you but this doesn't add up at all.

 

He also said benefits package so my assumption is insurance and class repayment. That sort of thing. I have all this and average 300 a week running 3000 miles. I hate this company with a passion but totally understand the monetary end of it. If you had a family its very hard to make a living especially otr. Dedicated its a different story altogether. Best week 560 average 300 roughly for insurance etc. Way to #### expensive for a family of five. It's not a lack of mileage at Swift people want to hang out all day.. My dm hates me as do the planners but I do get my miles. 5 more months then out of here.

 

How does one live on $100 a week for 7 months? What's the real story?
